Cannot thank the @RetroChimps enough for making outdoor kitchen complete with the fire pit/bbq table, our family will be having a fantastic summer. These guys are truly amazing. Just one more little addition on the way, then it’s complete.

This is so bloody exciting! I had wanted this, but it was the entire team @mandsrenewables that convinced me it could & would be possible. Such a positive, clued up, dedicated gang to whom our climate & #FieldofDreams are so very grateful. Off grid & beaming with green pride 🌞👍🏼

New/old studio/workshop desk is ready. My St.Helen's 'go to can do' heroes @RetroChimps nailed it again. Thanks lads. Seriously, if anyone is Northwest based & looking for bespoke with flair, rugged, reclaimed & fun builds, call 'em. They've never rejected an idea of mine x 😁

@RetroChimps made a brilliant cockpit light using the old skin. 3 huge steel frames needed making for the puma to sit on and couldn't be tried before the actual unloading. Can't buy puma tail rotor blades, so I made some.
